Considering we're capped out, Masai probably signs Patman just to have a tradeable asset. Can't let assets walk out the door for nothing unless someone wants to pay him stupid money (I don't think $14mm is that stupid given Turner/Crabbe/Bazemore etc).
Plus I get the sense Patman really likes (loves?) Toronto/Canada and would sign a reasonably team-friendly deal to stay in a good situation as part of a winning team.

I don't know why anyone would think of "replacing" Pat with Siakam. We've finally got what looks like a potentially great 2-way 4-man rotation (how good is Pascal going to get becomes the question, but he is a high-performing rookie on a high-performing team at the mo). And finally, we have no way of signing a 'star' player at power forward except as a reclamation project, unless the MLE is taking a giant leap forward with the new CBA...
Bottomline, we can afford to pay Patrick Patterson because we have his Bird rights. It's basically as simple as that.

Masai has been pretty careful with all his signings and transactions to avoid having to pay tax. Not sure if that's still a concern for them or MLSE going forward.

Plus, with Pat coming off the bench for a great team, hopefully Masai can work his magic like he did with Jonas - a nice, round number like $12 mill. Stranger things have happened.
Regardless, Pascal's presence puts us in a nice position - not being desperate.
